“Saturday Night Live” recap: Martin Short joins Five-Timers Club in star-studded Christmas episode

Holly jolly holiday greetings, Conehead nation - it’s SNL in Review: the 50th season anniversary recap. And tonight is - in a season of already deeply special moments - a particularly special episode, the Christmas show. The show that is closing out 2024. The show that unofficially rests one era of American politics, and beckons the next Trump term. Oh, and it is Martin Short’s official entrance into the Five Timers Club.

Short has specialized in December host gigs since he co-hosted with his Three Amigos pals Chevy Chase and Steve Martin way back in 1986. His last hosting gig was also with Martin, also in December. We have seen him pop up via cameo appearances several times over the years, including last April during the Kristen Wiig episode. My favorite cameo: when Justin Timberlake hosted SNL for the fifth time in 2013, Short appeared as a waiter in the Five-Timers Club sketch. Now, he is a member. Rejoice.

I am joined tonight by the best of the best, former SNL cast member Gary Kroeger. He recalls that he "first met Marty at SNL in 1984. I was kept on, along with Jim Belushi, Mary Gross and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as more or less an SNL foundation because Dick Ebersol had made the rather ingenious decision to put Marty, Chris Guest, Billy Crystal, Harry Shearer, Pamela Stevenson, and Rich Hall onto the show. If you have to replace Eddie Murphy, that's a pretty good line up. I wasn't pleased to lose my best friend Brad Hall, or Tim Kazurinsky or Robin Duke, however. I hadn't been watching SCTV in recent years and didn't know Marty's work very well. I wondered if he was going to cut into the turf I thought I was finally carving for myself on SNL. Well, long story ‘short’ I quickly realized that Marty was brilliant and there would be no competition. Ed Grimley paved the way to an understanding that Martin Short lives in another dimension. Watching Marty create characters that lived both in reality and also only his head, was a masterclass in spontaneous creation. I was happy just having the best seat in the house."

Jeff Bezos to marry fiancée Lauren Sanchez in lavish $600M Aspen wedding next weekend: report

A new report says billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will marry his fiancée Lauren Sanchez next Saturday in an extravagant $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado.

The pair, who got engaged in May 2023, will tie the knot next weekend in a winter wonderland-themed wedding after celebrating their impending nuptials at Matsuhia, a lavish sushi restaurant the couple reportedly bought out for Thursday and Friday, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Their nuptials will reportedly feature festive decor, twinkling lights, and holiday charm.

The high-end wedding is expected to be a star-studded affair after the couple celebrated their engagement in Positano, Italy, with the likes of Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan, Page Six previously reported.

Bezos, 60, and his fiancé, 54, have remained mum on their wedding plans and have not yet publicly confirmed their wedding date.

Their reps could not immediately be reached for comment on the report of the date.

The billionaire and former broadcast journalist have been inseparable since they started dating in 2018.

The pair went public with their romance a year later after Page Six exclusively revealed that Bezos and Sanchez were dating just days after his and his ex-wife’s divorce was announced in January 2019.

Rumors of the couple’s engagement began swirling as early as December 2019, when she was spotted sporting a massive heart-shaped ring.

Sanchez at the time was separated from Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell — with whom she shares two children, Ella, 16, and Evan, 18.
